Drugs in Sports
Since the beginning of time, society has constantly been competing with one another. Every human being is always trying to be, better than his/her neighbour. No matter what the task at hand, humans essentially believe that they can achieve bigger and better things, and eventually reach perfection. Perfection is defined as being a "quality or state of being perfect, or complete, so that nothing requisite is wanting; entire development; consummate culture, skill, or moral or physical excellence; maturity". It can come in different styles however, and to some perfection is attained only when they have become flawless. Jeffery Deaver's novels, "The Bone Collector" and "The Devils Teardrop" deal with perfection, in perhaps an unorthodox manner. In each of these novel's perfection is sought after in criminal activities, more specifically, murder. And in each novel, the main characters are competing with time and themselves in order to stop the serial killers from striking again. They themselves are out to attain perfection in their already distinguished careers. Through the main characters, and the plots of both novels, characteristics of the other novel are clearly evident and as well the underlying theme of perfec
it'll be bad" (Deaver, The Devil's Teardrop, p. Years ago Lukas was married and lost her son and her husband in a terrifying plane crash. Sachs becomes very upset when she is ordered to work with the NYPD's forensics department on the case because the day that the case started was supposed to be her last day as a patrol officer. For all four of these major characters, their perfection comes in their work. No longer can he just look at the evidence and catch the killer, he has to place himself in the shoes of the killer and go more in depth and find the real meaning about the evidence. The ransom that they demand is very small and this is what intrigues the forensics agents that are working on the case. She finds him "old fashioned" and cannot adapt to his ways of doing forensic work. However, in the end it is Parker Kincaid and Margaret Lukas who reach perfection first, and put a permanent stop to the digger and the man that give him his orders. While working with Kincaid she begins to relive the memories of her family, and begins to envy Parker's passion for being a father. The bone collector's perfection comes by trying to mimic James Schneider, however he never really reaches perfection because he cannot outsmart Lincoln Rhyme's forensic knowledge. He bases all of his killings on a historical novel that deals with a serial killer terrorizing old Manhattan Island. In order for these four people to reach perfection they have to come together and use each other's knowledge. With every serial killer there is a passion, an inspiration, this unidentified subject takes his passion from human bones. Rhyme is very literal when it comes to physical evidence, and this is why this case challenges Rhyme.
